Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little shocked when he saw what Zhu Youjian did shown in the simulator.

I always feel that what Zhu Youjian did was too unexpected.

Also too impatient.

These operations...how should I put it, just watching them really gives him a headache.

That’s not how you play it!

In the case of Yuan Chonghuan, he made a bold statement that he could pacify Liaodong in five years, but he was soon killed by the Jiannu outside and marched to the outskirts of Peking.

This is indeed infuriating.

Zhu Yuanzhang could understand Chongzhen's anger.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree with his approach.

He did not forget that the Jiannu outside had not retreated yet.

Yuan Chonghuan was the commander-in-chief appointed by him and had enormous power.

As a result, under such circumstances, he took down Yuan Chonghuan.

Changing generals during a battle is a big taboo.

Not to mention changing the coach at the last minute, which is even more inappropriate.

If Chongzhen wanted to settle the score, he had to at least stabilize the situation and get rid of the Jiannu outside.

Yuan Chonghuan is a boastful person.

Some words are exaggerated.

From the fact that the Jiannu were able to lead their troops to attack the capital, we can see how strong the Jiannu were.

This gave Zhu Yuanzhang a deeper understanding of this.

It is really not easy to pacify such a force in five years.

But Chongzhen also has to bear a great responsibility in this matter.

Because Chongzhen promised him five years, but that was never fulfilled.

Judging from the time shown on the simulator, it was only a little over a year from the appointment of Yuan Chonghuan to his removal.

In such a short period of time, many things have only just been deployed.

No time to exert force.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not the kind of person who knows nothing.

He knew very well how much time and resources would be needed to implement those grand strategies.

This is true even for unimportant matters.

Not to mention something of such importance.

More than a year is really not enough.

Since Chongzhen has given us five years, we might as well wait a little longer.

Let him perform again and see how it goes.

This change of coach was really too random.

This is not the way to govern a country.

Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that his temper was quick enough.

But now, compared with Chongzhen, I find that he is still quite patient when doing things.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, the screen in the simulator continued, showing Zhu Youjian's decision on this matter...

Zhu Youjian sent Sun Chengzong to pacify the Guanning Army that fled eastward.

Liang Tingdong and Man Gui were appointed as civil and military governors, respectively, to replace Yuan Chonghuan...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at all this and didn't know what to say.

From this point of view, it is not unfair that Chongzhen became the king who destroyed his own Ming Dynasty.

He really doesn't have the talent to be an emperor.

Doing things without thinking and without any method.

A hammer here and a mallet there.

At the same time, he was too impatient.

The country was in such a state that he was anxious, and Zhu Yuanzhang could understand that.

But no matter how urgent it is, things have their priorities, and we need to be methodical and strategic in doing things.

You can't just act recklessly based on passion.

Otherwise, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes...

"Lord Man, you must attack immediately!

Kill all the Jiannu outside the capital!
At least drive them away!
The siege of Peking was lifted!

This is the capital of our Ming Dynasty, and how can we allow that slave chieftain to run rampant here?!"

In the newly emerged picture, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian looked at a general in front of him and gave orders.

There was determination in his voice.

The general looked somewhat hesitant.

However, after meeting the unquestionable gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, he ended up not saying anything else.

He bowed and accepted the order, saying that he would reorganize the troops and leave the city to fight against the Jiannu in a moment!

I will never return until the Jiannu are killed!
After hearing his words and seeing his reaction, Zhu Youjian's expression finally relaxed a little.

Start looking forward to the next big victory.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching the simulator, didn't want to comment on it.

I always feel that Chongzhen's actions will only lead to him being too impatient to eat the hot tofu, and haste makes waste...

Sure enough, the next picture that emerged confirmed Zhu Yuanzhang's guess.

"Waste! Waste! They are all waste!"

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian was cursing there.

The whole person looked furious.

Obviously the defense has been broken.

"You can't even defeat a mere Jiannu! How shameful!

He died in battle but failed to drive away the Jiannu!

The Ming Dynasty lost so many troops in vain!
There is still so much money and food!

What use do I have for such trash?!"

Chongzhen couldn't help but roar.

Look at his frustrated look and listen to the meaning conveyed in his words.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

The feeling in his heart that the diligent Chongzhen was not as good as his brother Zhu Youxiao, who liked carpentry, became stronger and stronger.

If Chongzhen had not been so diligent, perhaps the Ming Dynasty would not have perished so early.

Perhaps there will be some other turning points...

When capable people work diligently, the country will become better and better.

Incompetent people work hard, but the harder they work, the more messed up the country becomes...

A new picture emerged, but the time had already come to the third year of Chongzhen.

At this time, there were more letters in front of Chongzhen.

It was sent by the slave chief outside, and it expressed the intention to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, another piece of news came quickly.

Those Jiannu troops outside really began to mobilize their troops and withdraw.

When this news came, Chongzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, after he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression quickly became solemn again.

At first glance, he looked like he was about to lose his temper...

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart tightened as he watched this scene.

Could it be that this bastard is preparing to go on a killing spree?
But...if we want to hold someone accountable, we have to prioritize.

See how far it goes...

The most important thing is whether the country will be affected after dealing with these people.

Has there been any huge turmoil as a result?

This is just like when he was investigating the case of Kong Yin, he killed many people.

However, nothing bad happened to the Ming Dynasty because of this.

Not only did no major turmoil occur, but many people actually benefited from their actions.

The country has also benefited greatly.

Under such circumstances, there is absolutely no problem in killing people without restraint. If you fail to do so, even if you do so, it will not only be of no help, but will make the situation even more difficult.

In this case, it's better not to do this kind of thing.

Need to think twice...

From the following pictures, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Chongzhen's series of actions regarding this matter.

To sum up, Zhu Youjian held the relevant officials accountable.

The Minister of War Wang Qia died in prison, and other civil and military officials were killed, including the Governor-General of Ji and Liao Liu Ce, the Governor of Shanxi Geng Ruqi, and the General Zhang Shixian.

On August 16, Zhu Youjian accused Yuan Chonghuan of failing to fulfill his trust, relying on deception and concealment, selling grain to Kharashin and thus indirectly supporting the Later Jin, plotting peace, allowing the enemy not to fight, and dismissing reinforcements, and sentenced him to death by slow slicing.

After Yuan Chonghuan was convicted, Qian Longxi and Han Yu, who had previously supported him, were impeached by pro-Wen Tihen censors such as Gao Jie and were dismissed from their posts one after another.

Although Li Biao and Cheng Jiming succeeded him as the Prime Minister, they could not stay in their positions for long and resigned one after another...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at what was shown on the screen and really wanted to beat Chongzhen hard.

This thing is pure nonsense!

Being an emperor is not something that can be achieved!
Power is of no use!
After his actions, the Ming Dynasty will fall even faster.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to open Zhu Youjian's head to see what was inside!
As an ancestor, he feels extremely tired when he sees what his descendants are doing.

What the hell is this doing!

A new picture emerges.

This time, the scene goes back to the second year of Chongzhen.

What is being presented is no longer about things in Liaodong.

Instead, there was some related news such as Shaanxi and other places suffering from disasters and refugees everywhere.

There are also some of Chongzhen's methods of dealing with things...

Zhu Youjian appointed Yang He as the governor-general of the three borders of Shaanxi, replacing the deceased Wu Zhiwang, and was responsible for handling the Shaanxi civil uprising.

Zhu Youjian adopted the policy of appeasement as the main approach and suppression as the auxiliary approach in dealing with the civil unrest.

He pointed out: The spread of Qin bandits, although there was no year, was always caused by corrupt officials and debt-ridden generals who did not care about the soldiers and civilians and exploited them at will, causing them to migrate and become bandits.

From now on, all civil and military officials at the border areas shall be selected and appointed based on their talents, and no one shall be allowed to evade appointments or simply recruit reserve personnel.

The Ministry of War secretly supervised the division and reunification of its officers and soldiers and took the opportunity to eliminate them.

He also said: The bandits are different from the barbarians. They are all our inland people. We should pacify and disperse them instead of just killing and looting them.

Looking at the images appearing in the simulator, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded.

I think the scene in this picture is quite good.

What Chongzhen said makes a lot of sense.

Why did these people rise up in rebellion?

The reason is simple: I can't survive.

As long as they can be allowed to survive again, rebellions will naturally decrease.

The method of appeasement is indeed very good.

While I felt relieved, I also felt extremely uncomfortable.

He started a rebellion because he couldn't survive.

After he became emperor, his biggest wish was to prevent people from starving to death.

It would be nice if fewer people could starve to death.

Who would have thought that at the end of the Ming Dynasty he founded, these old events from the Yuan Dynasty would appear again!
There are still a large number of people who can't survive due to disasters and other reasons...

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied with Chongzhen and soon disappeared.

Through the scenes shown in the picture, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to get this information...

After Yang He arrived at the place, he acted according to what Chongzhen had said and indeed achieved certain results.

Many of the rebels were recaptured...

Chongzhen seemed to be in a good mood, as can be seen from the smile in the picture.

But it hasn't been there for a long time.

Because they were not properly resettled, those who surrendered soon rebelled again.

Chongzhen was furious and dismissed Yang He from his post.

And let Hong Chengchou come to the governor's side to fight...

At the same time, there has been a big change in the attitude towards local rioters.

From the original policy of appeasement, it became a rapid suppression and extermination...

Under the vigorous suppression by Hong Chengchou and others, the various uprising forces in Shaanxi moved to Shanxi in the winter of the fifth year of Chongzhen.

Zhu Youjian used Cao Wenzhao to control the generals of Qin and Jin.

A year later, the various rebel forces successfully crossed the Mianchi River and moved into Henan, capturing cities and territories.

In the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian appointed Chen Qiuyu, the governor of Yansui, as the governor-general of five provinces, in charge of military affairs in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and Sichuan provinces.

Fully responsible for suppressing the uprising.

He also appointed Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Daming, as the governor of Yunyang.

Guard the border areas of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan and Chu provinces where the rebels are most likely to enter.

Under the suppression of Lu Xiangsheng and others, the rebel forces led by Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others retreated back to Shaanxi.

In June of the seventh year of Chongzhen, he was trapped in Chexiang Gorge south of Xing'an and fell into a desperate situation.

However, Chen Qiyu accepted the bribe and advocated surrender.

Instead, the rebels managed to escape.

Zhu Youjian then ordered Hong Chengchou to concurrently serve as the governor-general of the five provinces...

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scenes on the screen and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

The many scenes that appeared in the simulator brought back too many bad memories for him.

Refugees arose everywhere, the land was barren for thousands of miles, and the people exchanged their children for food...

The images in the simulator overlapped with the chaotic world in his memory.

Let him feel the same way.

I thought of my deceased parents.

He remembered his brother who gave him the last rice ball made of bran, ate it, and survived, but he died...

I hate the chaotic world and hunger so much.

After becoming emperor, what he always thought about was to make his Ming Dynasty different from the late Yuan Dynasty.

But now, what is the difference between the cannibalism scenes in my Ming Dynasty and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?
It's the same!

How did it become like this?
This shouldn't be the case...

Zhu Yuanzhang's mood at this time was beyond description.

If hit hard!

At the beginning, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that so many people in his Ming Dynasty were rebelling.

But after seeing these, he sighed and agreed with the people's rebellious behavior.

Many people can no longer survive.

Why can't we rebel?

And this is also the scene he fears the most.

Zhu Yuanzhang was never afraid of the disturbance caused by officials, scholars, or wealthy gentry.

In his view, these were just minor problems.

What they are really afraid of is that many people will join them in making trouble.

As long as the majority of the people do not rebel, the scale of the rebellion will not be large.

However, if many people rebel, it means that troubled times have really arrived.

It will really overthrow the dynasty...

But all the things I feared the most appeared at the end of the Ming Dynasty...

The images in the simulator continued to appear.

Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, Fengyang, the birthplace of the dragon, was captured by the rebel forces led by King Sweeping and King Taiping in the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen.

The ancestral tomb was burned...

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Youjian suspended the imperial lecture.

He wore plain clothes to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to the spirits of his ancestors, ordered all officials to conduct self-examination, and executed Yang Yipeng, the governor of Fengyang...

Zhu Yuanzhang???!

My ancestral grave was dug up? !
